Re: [Emacspeak] trying to get emacspeak working on windows 11

[<covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is great!  I downloaded the git repository, but I am having
trouble building sharpwin, it seems to be missing system.speech and a
couple of audio components, but I could not get nuget to install any
of them -- or maybe they are installed and I am missing something.

Also, as I said in a previous message, I cannot make emacspeak.
